Description

EUROPEANS FOR PEACE wants to get young people interested and invested in human rights, moral courage, and social commitment. In joint project work, young people address diversity, respect and social cohesion.

The projects can be implemented from July 2018 to August 2019. Historical or contemporary approaches are suitable for the project work.

The exchange projects strive for open and diverse societies in a future-oriented and active manner. The young people address sociopolitical subjects such as equal opportunities, inclusion, and participation. They reflect on their own experiences, develop a critical attitude towards discrimination or implement social commitment on the ground.

The history of National Socialism and of World War II in Europe is a reference point for historical learning during the encounters. Young people discover stories of friendships, willingness to help and moral courage in this time.
